MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS IN FFS FILM FOR DEEP FREEZE BAGS THROUGH IMPLEMENTATION OF BORSTAR LLDPE GRADES
03 September 2001 - Borealis A/S
| The superior low temperature properties of the Borstar LLDPE grades, FB2230 and FB2310, ensure pack integrity and thereby product preservation. In this field of application these products outperform all other PE grades on the market. By incorporating these materials in films for frozen products, several other advantages can be realised. The broad MWD provides efficient extrusion of high quality film, often at improved production regularity. Mechanical properties, like high toughness in combination with increased stiffness, provide a secure and efficient filling and packaging operation. The nature of these products gives matt surface films which facilitate packaging, opening up new design possibilities and making it possible to use films free of additive like slip and antiblock, thereby reducing migration levels. |
The introduction of enhanced bimodal Borstar LLDPE grades to FFS films for deep freeze bags, as well as other films subjected to low temperatures, sets a milestone for the industry.
